We spent a night here and enjoyed everything. Nice comfortable, clean room, with tea/coffee in the room and a good sized en suite bathroom. The pub brews its own beer, which I really enjoyed prior to dinning in the pub too. (excellent food) Sunday night there was a very accomplished singer/guitarist and a great crowd in the bar. To top it all off, breakfast was included too! Friendly,professional staff made it a great place to visit/stay.
Tips:It's about a 15 minute walk into Lymington and there is a pretty large car park on site.

Lovely pub in a good location. Room was really comfortable for myself and daughter. Big bathroom with good shower and toiletries supplied. Staff were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. We had dinner and breakfast at the pub and it was delicious. Also live music was an added bonus to the atmosphere. The walk into Lymington is about 15-20 mins. The road the pub is situated on can be busy so there will be traffic noise. It wasn’t a problem though. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We stayed here to celebrate my husbands's 60th birthday as this was his pub in his late teens into his late twenties before he moved away from the area. Everything about our stay was excellent. The staff were very friendly, super helpful and gracious at all times. Our room was fantastic, spacious, very comfortable and a great bathroom. The shower was brilliant and plenty of hot water at all times. We loved the food, breakfast was generous and well cooked and we had dinner on both evenings that we were there and food was very tasty. We loved sitting in front of the log fire after dinner. All in all a wonderful stay and we would definitely repeat and stay again. Thanks for looking after us so well.

We received a very warm welcome and the room was available earlier than the recommended check-in time, which was great after a very long drive. Despite the pub being full and busy serving Sunday lunches, the lovely staff managed to squeeze us in and rustle up some lunch for us. The room was nice and although initially we worried about noise from the road, when we actually decided to turn in, the traffic had quietened considerably, so all was fine. We had a good night’s sleep and didn’t need the complimentary ear plugs!! The pub is within easy walking distance (10 minutes) of Lymington town centre and the harbour. We had dinner at the pub and the food and atmosphere was great. There was live music and it was busy so we were glad that we’d thought to book in advance. We would definitely recommend The Monkey Brewhouse and would stay again if visiting the area.

Wonderful place to stay! The rooms are splendid, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and very friendly. Will definitely recommend and we will definitely be back!! Just one small observation, there are good solid hand rails on the stairs up to the rooms which are great but there isn't a rail on the two stairs down to rooms one and two which was a little difficult for my husband who doesn't have good balance. Just one extra short rail there would make a big difference and would create perfection!!!😀

An excellent team and teamwork throughout our stay. Made us feel at home. Good food and good wine even by the glass. A good selection of nonalcoholics available. Good music Sunday night finishing at appropriate time.
Tips:Lymington is a pleasant town with some interesting independent shops. Unfortunately we were so well looked after for meals at monkey brew house that we only tried Tinkers Grandaughter, a very good coffee house catering to veggies and vegans. However there are a very good selection of eateries in the town and around the harbour.

We had a really enjoyable stay. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious, and the beer, brewed on site, was great. The only fault I can find is that Monkey Brewhouse is too far away from our home to our local pub.

Cracking little place on the outskirts of Lymington. The room we stayed in was a lovely size with everything you needed for a comfortable stay, including earplugs should you require them (which we didn't, despite being on a busy road). The only minor fault was the blind in the bathroom didn'twork. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. The beer, brewed on the premises, is top-notch, I particularly liked In The Vines. The food is fresh and tasty. Our stay was rounded of by a fantastic cooked breakfast. Looking forward to a return visit.
Tips:If you want dinner, which I would thoroughly recommend, remember to book as it gets very busy.

We had a great time and would stay again. We had a large spacious room and a large en suite. It was very clean and comfortable. The food was excellent, the different beers and ales brewed here were greatly enjoyed by my husband and we bought a keg for a friend. The service was excellent and everyone was very friendly, especially Sue at breakfast. She also gave us helpful advice about places to visit.
Tips:We arrived early afternoon and walked down into Lymington town centre and the quay. Lots of interesting and also familiar shops and sights. We had two full days. The first we spent walking near and in Christchurch and then along the spit to Hurst Point. The second we spent in the New Forest. A lovely walk around Hatchet Pond near Beaulieu, round the beautiful arboretum at Rhinefield Ornamental Drive near Brockenhurst and later along the seafront at Milford on Sea. All highly recommended! Next time we plan to visit Bucklers Hard too.

The staff at the Brewhouse are warm, helpful & friendly. The pub itself is really comfortable and cosy with a fine selection of drinks and a very pleasant sitting out area, albeit next to a busy main road. The food was good and varied as was the breakfast. We stayed in Room 3 which was a lovely room, but you are staying at a pub and so expect some noise up until about midnight.
Tips:You are about a 15/20 minute walk from Lymington Town Centre, with an hourly bus service (No 6) passing the door of the Brewhouse and travelling between Lymington and Southampton (via Brockenhurst & Lyndhurst). If you like Indian food you must try Rivaaz in Lymington and there is a market in the town on a Saturday.

I can highly recommend staying at the Monkey Brewhouse Pub. It was superb and I had an excellent Birthday. The Pub was simply just amazing, a great atmosphere, the staff were the best I have ever encountered in a Pub. We stayed two nights and ate in the restaurant, the food was just outstanding. Live music on a Sunday night was just awesome too. I can't recommend this establishment enough. If you want good food, a great place to stay and decent service then visit the Monkey Brewhouse soon!
Tips:Beaulieu Motor Museum is a must to Visit. Approx 6 mile drive from the Monkey Brewhouse. You can walk into Lymington town as well and that is worth the walk. Visit the Bombay Sapphire Gin distillery on your way to or from Lymington at Laverstoke Mill, in Whitchurch, Hampshire. Well worth a visit. Book a tour though first!

Fantastic pub, with a great atmosphere mainly due to the friendly and attentive staff. The decor of the pub is a great interpretation of the monkey theme without being in your phase - just the right amount of quirky. My husband fully recommends the home brewed beers too. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable with everything thought of. All in all a great stay and will definitely book in again if we are back in the area.
Tips:The Saturday Market in Lymington is lovely and also fully recomment Koh Thai for dinner. Also as a special treat the half day sail with Escape Yachting from Lymington Yacht Haven is amazing.

The breakfasts and evening meals were of an excellent quality and hot. The range of beers and again quality of was excellent. The staff are amazing. Will the landlord and on-site brewer is very lucky to be able to leave Karen & Sam to run the day to day operations. The rooms have been redecorated with great en-suite refits', the bed was very comfortable, tea/coffee making facilities included. As the pub name suggests there is a brewery installed which is an impressive sight. Will was due to brew his first batch the day we checked out. The only slight downside is the location as it's on a fairly busy road. This didn't bother us but it might inconvenience others. This is a very minor criticism when the whole stay package is taken in consideration. We will definitely stop here again when going to or returning from the Isle of Wight.
Tips:The Brewhouse is a short walk into Lymington which has some great pubs, shops and of course the harbour.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The room was cozy and very clean and even though the pub downstairs was busy the room was surprisingly quiet. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, I had the vegan option of beans on wholemeal bread (homemade?) with soy milk coffee and orange juice. There was a bit of confusion during checkout but the staff on duty resolved everything quickly and professionally. All in all a very pleasant experience - I would happily stay here again if I was to visit Lymington in the future.

We cannot praise the Monkey House highly enough. We got a fantastic welcome and the staff were so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed in the deluxe double and it was better than many hotels we have stayed in. Bathroom was fantastic with enormous fluffy towels and lovely toiletries. The bar is cosy and was busy for a Tuesday afternoon. The staff were also very mindful of social distancing and we felt very safe. The food was exceptional and the menu had something for everyone including some fresh specials( great seafood) Breakfast was cooked to order and one of best we have had anywhere. Would definitely stay here again. Great value and highly recommended.
Tips:Lymington is lovely for a wander and within walking distance from The Monkey House. Lyndhurst is only a short drive away and on the doorstep of some beautiful New Forest walks. You should visit Milford on Sea for a beautiful beach walk with great views of the Isle of Wight.

What a lovely interesting Inn. Bar staff were great, chatty and made you feel at home from the moment you stepped in the door, fast and efficient. Really professionally managed. Great food and Chef. Room was modern, stylish, very comfortable and extremely clean. Great place All round. Big thumbs up to The Monkey House. Will definitely return as soon as we get the chance. And the monkeys were extremely well behaved too. A must stay!

Had a very nice couple of days . Had dinner one night very good , lovely food good wine and nice atmosphere, I think due to fact the owners and staff very chatty and welcoming . The only thing given the choice between shower or bath in the room , I said shower but wish we had the room with the bath as it was bigger and I think had a bigger bed. But still it was a comfortable room .
Tips:We walked into Lymington some nice different shops and the next day we went to Mudeford and had a walk along the beach , then on to Christchurch, worth going into the cathedral and for a walk along the river and garden the other side of the Cathedral. Stopped on the way back at a lovely little garden centre attached to a vineyard.

Every member of the team at The Monkey House was friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful short break. The bedroom was decorated to a high standard with a well presented bathroom. The New Forest toiletries were a lovely touch along with plenty of tea, coffee etc in the room.
Tips:Lymington was a 10 minute walk away from The Monkey House with a nice market and lovely walks down to the quay and along the river. We’ve given the location an excellent more for being an excellent base for exploring the forest rather than enjoying the views from the bedroom or garden. It’s very conveniently situated to reach places easily.

Tips:Try to book room 1 as 2 looked a bit small. Fine for one though.

The Monkey House was a wonderful place to stay. The room was very modern and very comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of it. Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to have an evening meal there but on the evening I arrived the place was buzzing and filled to the rafters with customers - a really lovely atmosphere, so I can only imagine the food was stunning. I had a lot of good comments from people when I told them where I was staying also. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and the host was a very funny and welcoming man. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, comfortable place to stay.

This is a very busy pub/restaurant but the noise did not penetrate to the room above. There is live music on Sunday. We stayed in the deluxe room with en-suite which was very nicely decorated. It faces main road but the double glazing minimised the traffic noise and the road is not busy at night. Comfortable bed. Very welcoming friendly staff. The chef has a very good reputation as indicated by availability of a table meant we did not sit down until 9pm. The food was excellent so book your table before arriving for an earlier time. Well done Chef.
Tips:Lal Quilla Indian Restaurant in the High Street is another place to try. Good service and reasonably priced. Approx 20mins walk from The Monkey House. Hurst Castle is an interesting place to visit take the ferry from Keyhaven or the walk along the spit is very enjoyable on a nice day. A trip to Yarmouth IOW is a 40min boat ride. You can take the bus around the island. The ferries run every (approx) 30mins. Milford on Sea is a pleasant seaside town, not far by car.

The Monkey House is so good,it's a gem and a brilliant find we would rather keep to ourselves. If you are planning a visit to the New Forest or stopping over before sailing across to the Isle of Wight this is the place to stay. The ensuite bedrooms are lovely; comfortable, clean and with well appointed bathrooms. But the high point of your stay will be the staff; nothing is too much trouble for them; they are so attentive and friendly. Finally, the breakfast. Superb and prepared to your individual needs. And yes, do book a table for your evening dinner, you won't be disappointed!

First class food & service. Just outside of Lymington The Monkey House is a pleasant surprise. Considering the guest rooms are just a small part of the business they get that better than most small hotels. The whole team provide efficient, professional & warm customer service. The smallest of the room didn't have a wardrobe but the highend bathroom was supplied with shower gel, shampoo & conditioner. There was tea & coffee, biscuits, bottled water & hairdryer in the room. The food in the spacious restaurant is faboulous and the decor is a mix of modern & traditional that works well. Theres a cosy fireplace, outside space and inviting bar. Breakfast was hearty and it's all backed up with a good wine selection and well kept Ringwood beer pumps. We loved our 2 night stay this October.
Tips:On the Main Road, 20 mins walk from the main harbour and other pubs restaurant but you wont be disappointed. We walked on the first day to The Haven (faboulous meal)seafood restaurant, walked back along the solent and completed a 7 pub crawl on the way back. It was a long day but the atmosphere back at the Monkey House was the best of all of them. If you drive to Milford on Sea you can park up & walk to Hirst castle but not sure if its suitable for wheelchairs & pushchairs. Lymington harbour was a hive of activity with boat rides and crabbing for kids. Nearly all the pubs had fireplaces and real ale. Your host will help you enjoy your stay!

Wow!!!!! There are just a few places that you visit which tick all the boxes and the Monkey House is one of them. ALL THE STAFF are confident, knowledgeable and extremely helpful; delivering a personal service which is impressive. We booked an evening meal which was excellent and extremely good value for money; so we knew when breakfast arrived the next morning we would not be disappointed. The only disappointment we had was that we did not stay for longer.
Tips:Make sure that you book for an evening meal as the restaurant was very busy. Also don't bother going out for food as you will miss out on a great atmosphere.

Lars left yesterday,but i can truly say, that my markings are as his and Theas opinion, they were delighted with their room, so wwere his mother and sister, they loved their breakfast, and Ian made them feel welcome.plus made them the breakfast. there is nothing, they could fault on the Monkey House, and i would not have booked them there, if i did not think, it is such a great place. kind regards Karin Berrigan ,Lars's dad is my nephew.
Tips:the forest very close by is well worth a visit, so is the seawall walk, Beaulieu village, a walk from same village to Bucklers Hard, where you can have a deserved pint,as you have to walk back again. in lymington high Street have a scandinavian treat in the icelandic cafe, Oskubox.

Excellent accommodation. A very friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Food in the restaurant is fantastic. Decor throughout the pub and the rooms is well thought out and appealling. The beds are really comfortable and the room was quiet, even though the pub is on a main road there were no issues with noise. The owner even came out on a wet and windy night to collect us when we weren't able to locate a taxi. Would recommend. Will be returning.
Tips:The pub serves excellent food however if you want to try different places there are lots of pubs in lymington worth a visit: angel and pig, ship inn, the haven. We ate in the elderflower restaurant..9 course taster menu. Not cheap but worthy of its entry in the latest edition of the good food guide.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Monkey House. We were blown away by the service and the friendliness of the staff who really make you feel special whilst you are staying there. At separate occasions we had full conversations with all of the bar staff/owners, and they were only more than happy to pass on local knowledge to us. The room was perfect for us, spotless and extremely comfortable. The pub area is very cosy also with a log fire burning away in the far end of the pub, and as we were staying there, we are allowed in the bar area until midnight whilst the staff were cleaning around us, and the food was exceptional. I couldn't recommend The Monkey House highly enough.
Tips:When we visited it was in the middle of a storm so we didn't have the best weather for a coastal town, but it was still very nice down by the water, and very refreshing. But due to the weather we had to spend a lot of time in pubs, of which Lymington has plenty. We were only there for 1 1/2 days so couldn't really make it out in to the new forest, but that is an activity we will reserve for next time.

Staff excellent - friendly, efficient, hard working. Great atmosphere in pub Sunday evening - very crowded, live music. Food - roast dinner - excellent - no room for desserts.
Tips:Book a meal at The Monkey House before you arrive, to ensure a table. Lyndhurst - if you like tea, try Tea Total - quirky tea pots. Pick up leaflets from New Forest Visitor Centre - quite informative exhibition. Drive into Brockenhurst village centre, avoiding all the ponies. Sea ater baths at Lymington. New Forest ice cream - blackcurrant sorbet and rhubarb. Walks along Solent Way. Good variety of shops in Lymington.

Comfortable, clean, good looking rooms (we occupied two) with large new windows, which can be opened. Huge white towels. Room service! Umbrellas to borrow when rain falls. Superb full English breakfast, with freshest fruit. But most importantly, the people who run it are are kind and accommodating. Many many thanks to Ian. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Lymington.
Tips:Eat at the Monkey House! Very good restaurant/pub. They can cook! Both breakfast and dinner. Favorite dish: mushroom tagliatelle. But the sticky toffee dessert is to die for.

Maybe the smaller room needs a small wardrobe, difficult hanging clothes on the back of bathroom door, hangers catch on wall. Great breakfast but would be nice if a menu, just so you could pick items instead of trying to remember the list, also maybe fresh fruit and yogurt, , not being picky, just ideas, fab place and very friendly staff and owner(Iain)
Tips:Wonderful food and wine, while we were there, they had a singer on the Sunday, who was excellent, Lymington is a beautiful place and you don't have to go far for the sea, peace and quiet, or a very busy high street.
Would Recommend: Yes
Owner Response:Thank you so much I will see what I can do about a wardrobe and certainly will address the menu and \breakfast comments Iain
